Here in Australia it is already, anyways...
I've been delayed in posting about The Blood Chronicles with the mad rush of Christmas, but I rolled the first 3 A Vampire Forsaken novella's into an anthology (I think it's around 87,800+ words). It's out now at Amazon & Smashwords, and should be at other retailers shortly. UPDATE: now available through all, check OUTLET's page.
I really enjoyed writing the Chronicles, especially the characters in it. There are some sinfully hot alpha males in there but the women are pretty alpha too – Blaise is one sexy beast but I don't think you'd want to cross Agrippina :)
I'm not a fan of the doormat female character and I guess it comes through. I am continuing the A Vampire Forsaken series with the fallout of the story of Ethan & Selene.
Before that though, I have a fun full length novel interlinked, but very much apart from, the Forsaken world. It has vampires, angels, witches, hot jazz and a cool retro setting. It will be out in January after way too many delays.
If you enjoyed The Blood Chronicles, drop me a line or say hi at my Facebook or Goodreads page.
And if you are into reviewing, go for it – for better or worse :( . As an indie author it is super important.
May all of your presents be extravagant and exactly what you wanted!
Huge merry Christmas,
Xan
(Oh, and yes, a change of cover art style for the Chronicles. I like it, it's kinda hip!)
Blood Chronicles blurb following:
Some loves are never meant to die... And time without end can be a curse without the burning heart of obsession and lust.
Blaise de Sevigny is a 500 year old vampire in thrall to his sire, the ferocious and yet fragile Agrippina, once a slave in ancient Rome. Living with them is the enigmatic Marius. Marius, who sometimes partakes in the erotic games Agrippina favours, and who now joins the lovers in their war against fellow vampire Van Buren's trade in the human misery of opium and slavery.
Spanning the bone white mansions of London's 1892 Mayfair through to a Sydney summer torn apart by vampire turf wars, the Blood Chronicles bind together angelic witches, millennia old vampires, Viking warrior goddesses and very human rock stars.
Mina, half angel, half witch, is drawn into the survivors orbit and pays a price in blood to win a reward beyond dreams. Marius, once her protector, would use her supreme Otherworld gifts for his own purpose. One that may kill her.
And Ethan Canning, a hot rock star with a broken heart, loses himself in the icy, sensual chill of Viking goddess and rapacious vampire Selene.
Contains the first three volumes in the A Vampire Forsaken series:
Blood Lust Blood Lost
Blood Sex Magick
Blood Flesh Gold
87, 800+ words
